LIBERALS’ SCHOOL FUNDING FAILURE
THE HON TANYA PLIBERSEK MP
A scathing report by the powerful Liberal controlled Parliamentary audit committee has found that the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison Government failed to obey federal laws requiring school funds to be distributed based on need.
The report details concerns about serious compliance problems, “inadequate administrative arrangements“, and a “lack of transparency and accountability”.
To help clean up the Liberals’ mess, the Committee has recommended significant changes to the way the distribution of school funding is monitored and reported.
This is further proof that Scott Morrison and the Liberals cannot be trusted with schools.
Not only has Mr Morrison ripped $14 billion from schools, his Government has been busted being dodgy with the funding that’s left.
Clearly the Liberals think following the law should be optional for them. It shows just how out of touch they are.
Today’s report follows a damning assessment of the Liberals’ school funding regime by the Australian National Audit Office back in late 2017.
